Claire's story is also featured in the Source of Life video:
Source of Life traces an artist's life from Depression-era Brooklyn to Fairbanks, Alaska and her extended visits to Alaska's whaling camps and smallest villages.
She painted everyday lives, immersing herself in her subject, studying, sketching and taking notes, then painting what she'd experienced swiftly, emotionally and intuitively.
Fejes' collected works capture a way of life few people on earth experience today.
Source of Life celebrates Claire Fejes' work and her contributions as an Alaskan artist.
